A new featurette for FOX's Gotham reveals snippets of future episodes as well as first looks at several new characters. Check it out below:

The Penguin's distinct waddle gets a shout-out at point, while a quick flurry of shots around the 6:10 mark gives us our first look at veteran actress Carol Kane as Oswald Cobblepot's mother Gertrud Kapelput, described as a "proud and faded beauty with delusions of grandeur." She debuts in episode two.

Screengrabs of the other three new characters spotted in that series of shots at the 6:10 mark are posted below. The first reveals that character actor Frank Whaley (Pulp Fiction, The Doors, Career Opportunities) has joined the cast -- but as who? He appears to be in either a lab or maybe even a police evidence room. Is he our future Hugo Strange? Mr. Freeze? Scarecrow? Dr. Kirk "Man-Bat" Langstrom? Let us know your guesses in the comments.

This young woman has more than a few fans speculating that she could be the DC villain Magpie based on her look alone:

Not sure who this creepy old-timer with the gun is. A gun's a bit pedestrian for a cerebral villain like Professor Hugo Strange, who we know for a fact is showing up on Gotham's first season. Who do you think he is?
